Business Description

We develop, manufacture, market and service a comprehensive line of high-quality, easy-to-use video, voice, data and web conferencing collaboration solutions. We provide an end-to-end solution that includes enterprise video and voice communications end-points, network infrastructure, management products, product maintenance and other professional services. Our enterprise video and voice communications products enable businesses and other organizations to easily communicate with employees, customers, and partners, regardless of location. Our network infrastructure and management products include bridges, network management software and call processing servers that enable communications across and between different types of networks and end-points. The breadth of our product offering enables us to provide our customers with a comprehensive, end-to-end communications solution, which spans the desktop, meeting room and enterprise or service provider network.

Our products are unified under The Polycom Accelerated Communications Architecture, a framework of common technology principles and objectives for intelligent, standards-based communications. This architecture is designed to facilitate interoperability among systems in a multi-vendor environment, leverage common features across a variety of products and streamline management processes. Because it is based on open standards and supports a wide range of communications protocols, the architecture helps our customers protect their existing and future investments in a converged communications infrastructure. The Polycom Accelerated Communications Architecture serves as the enabling platform for unified collaborative communication, our corporate vision of a unified communications environment for employees, customers and partners to communicate in a dispersed workplace.

Our business operates in three segments, Communications, Network Systems and Services. Our Communications segment includes videoconferencing collaboration products and voice communications products. Our Network Systems segment includes our MGC series of media servers, PathNavigator call processing server, WebOffice webconferencing software application, and network management and scheduling software. Our Services segment includes a wide range of professional service and support offerings to our resellers and directly to some end-user customers.
